A big Feliz Ano Nuevo to all you funk & soul lovers here on Cali Lifestyles. The last month has not been kind to me as I suffered some major health issues but with the help of a good doctor & the good lord I am getting better each day.
Wanted to drop off my latest edition to a series I love putting together. I hope you will all enjoy Volume 5 of UNDER THE COVERS (ON THE LATIN SIDE).
Wishing you all a health, happy & prosperous new year!!
EAST LA GUY.

Just as hot rodders of the fifties embraced doo-wop & rock & roll, lowriders also share a passion for the old school sounds, though of a more recent vintage. As exotic custom sound systems pound out the best jams from back in the day, crusin' in low mode is not just a life style, it's a way of life.This one's for la Raza!
